It’s Getting Old

Honestly?

America needs to grow up. Everything about this is absolutely ridiculous, on both parties. I am so tried of everyone constantly being offended by every single thing. The comment on Facebook was absurd, and while yes, it makes me want to drop kick Samson in the face, there are sooooooo many stupid people in the world who say stupid things. Why don’t we look up racist comments on social media and hold a protest against every single person, black or white, who has ever said anything racist? I am all for standing up against what you believe in, so if students wanted to have a sit in, fine, but I felt their condemnation of Vitter’s original statement was harsh. The way they were talking made it seem like Vitter liked the comment, and shared it on his page. Obviously Vitter in no way supports Samson’s ignorance, he’s the chancellor of a college for goodness sake. Let’s be real, slavery ended 150 years ago, isn’t it time to move on? I believe in history and learning about it and paying our respects to it, but America has gotten to the point where everyone constantly thinks everyone else is out to get them all the time. Stupid remarks that symbolize ignorance and unawareness are made daily. People are going to be stupid and no protest will ever stop that. Protesting and spreading awareness of Samson’s idiotic comment only draws more attention to him and makes him famous, is that what we want?
